dracula lewis unterschreibt bei souterrain transmissions! aber wer zur hölle ist dracula lewis? der aus transsilvanien stammende produzent bleibt vor allem in der blogwelt ein mysterium, und das obwohl eben diese blogs seine tracks fleißig posten. angeblich lebte er bis vor kurzem noch in einem besetzten haus in mailand, wo er an diversen kunst-installationen getüftelt und einen illegalen club betreibt (oder betrieb). dracula lewis hat ein eigenes label, hundebiss records, heimat für bands der stunde wie hair police, sewn leather und jaws. mit den hundebiss-signings jaws und sewn leather tourte er bereits durch die usa und europa. nun kommen wir mal zur musik. dracula lewis beschreibt diese wie folgt: >expansive, pseudo-horror-flick music that oscillates between ethereal ambience and grinding, zombie-attack noise freakouts<. da ist immer diese seltsame, dunkle magie, die über seinen tracks schwebt. mit >permafrost< erscheint nun zunächst eine auf 500 stück limitierte 12 inch, ein studioalbum ist für märz 2013 geplant.

mit einem beispielhaften sinn für melodien, todsicheren gitarrenstücken und donnerndem schlagzeug, bedienen zeus auf >busting visions< weit mehr als nur einen bestimmten stil - ein album, das erbarmungslos energisch und lärmend daherkommt. die 14 songs wurden innerhalb von zwei jahren geschrieben, während die band unermüdlich tourte. egal ob an einem klavier in der lobby eines hotels oder mit der gitarre auf der rückbank des vans: die vier jungs ließen es sich nicht nehmen, ihr album immer weiter zu entwickeln. >die geschichte dieses albums ist wirklich die erste von uns als band<, sagt frontmann mike o brien. >busting visions< erschien in nordamerika auf dem renommierten indielabel arts & crafts und wurde von so recordings (uk) für europa lizenisert. zeus spielen das diesjährige reeperbahn festival und kommen im dezember mit den stars auf bundesdeutsche tour.

das erste treffen der vier bandmitglieder nach einer langen auszeit fand in texas statt, als man sich die zeit nahm, sich als alte freunde wieder anzunähern und als musiker wieder auf eine wellenlänge zu kommen. entsprechend fällt das grandiose ergebnis aus. zum ersten mal schreiben grizzly bear neue songs gemeinsam, zum ersten mal singen die beiden sänger ed droste und daniel rossen gemeinsam, alle titel tragen die handschrift jedes einzelnen der vier mitglieder. so geschlossen und eindringlich hat man diese band noch nie zuvor gehört. shields enthält einige der grössten und mutigsten tracks, die grizzly bear je geschrieben haben, die ihren unbedingten willen zur ehrlichen, ungefilterten gefühlsäusserung offen vermitteln. der grizzly bear-kosmos hat seinen neuen höhepunk

whilst most of us would associate the productions of butch with his effortlessly flowing, melodic and uplifting style, perfect music for the summer floors and terraces.... of late, the turkish born producer has been channeling back into his tougher and dare we say it, more butch techno sounds. having bathed us in the gorgeous tones of previous hits such as >papillon< and >eyes wide open<, butchs latest work for quartz music sees him expanding further on his recent chemically inspired cecille release >lsd 25<, by serving up a large helping of acid on, >303<. sinister and deadly, the creeping corrosive cut is perfect soundtrack for those dark strobe lit moments. >soul leaves body< sees on the polar opposite side of our trip as the blissed out beats of the tabla and strains of the sitar sweep us away an ethereal bed of sound.

limited to 200 copies! a swedish duo with only food and underground electro music on their mind.

it has been out of stock for quit some time now, even though it is considered a classic album within the viking/pagan metal genre. so we decided to re-release this classic album full of mighty pagan hymns! this release differs from the original, because we added all lyrics and we re-mastered the sound. for all of those who do not have this album a nice opportunity to buy the roughest and first album of thyrfing and to enjoy songs such as >raven eyes<, >set sail to plunder< or the classic >going berserk<. the album contains ten bombastic yet catchy viking metal tunes that are filled with nice keyboard melodies, berserker vocals and pounding guitar riffs.

foreign sunrises are always inspiring an artist. festival gigs with amazing music and extraordinary people making you feel the real magic of electronic music. einmusik packed all those things and made a dreamy and mysterious ep called >damgala<. only two tracks coming up, but they are special and wistful - nothing more is left to say about the feelings of an artist traveling all over the world since months. >damgala< itself is a song with unsettling synths, an undulating baseline and rolling drums. the breaks are so strong and suprising and you will never forget this sensuous chorus. >st.anna< is the second number on the ep. it is made by mars leder and einmusik. they meet each other on several parties in berlin. mars, a young and talented dj also plays a lot of instruments and so they made a studio session with different sequences. the guitar is clear and melancholic, the synths are soft and the bass is catching you. close your eyes and feel the song without being prejudiced by some words.

this single-side vinyl, pressed in 100 cps limited edition, is the happy ending of one of the most played tracks from our friends djs and strictly grooves followers. >sweet pussy pauline< is a classic, an hit that increases over the time, in months of gigs between berlin and reggio emilia, london and garda lake. our job is to make good music and share it with those who appreciate it, but this time we have done much more, because sweet pussy pauline has become a true piece of art in the hands of tatiana festi, who designed directly on record, label to label, 100 unique pieces. tatiana is a very renowed artist, becoming bigger and bigger thanks to her brilliant style, its creatures, its sensual girls, with languid eyes and provoking mouths. and though in acid colors, bright and pop, painted with a meticulous technique and surprising signs of felt pen, all have something of the femme fatale and at the same time, victims of love.

lost follows up his massive snake eyes single with the highly anticipated groupies e.p. which is gaining support from a list djs across the board & featured airplay across all the major airwaves including bbc radio 1. groupies is somewhat of a statement piece for lost, veering from his traditional sound lost experiments with slightly noisier undertones to execute this highly anticipated club banger. ironhide vip: losts debut release on hench, ironhide is the foundation he built his distinguishable style and sound on. the vip showcases his journey through his hench releases subtly highlighting extracts from previous releases slaughtered, escape from the womb & metal foot. the vip encompasses the essence of the original but has the added advantage of developed production which makes for a devastating 2012 re lick!

a few years ago i took a journey to europe searching for a new sound. people along the journey had been telling me about this guy from tropea, italy called dj steve (named after his favorite musician, stevie wonder).
he is a butcher there by day, but at night he is the dj at a club called casablanca. i made my way to this tiny town in the south of italy and found dj steve. his 12 hour dj sets opened my eyes. this guy was the real deal. he was playing dubplates, vinyl, cassettes, and reel-to-reels. all special edits he had done over the years. i couldnt believe what i was hearing.

with two of the alan parsons projects best songs, the lovely ballad >time< and the wavy-sounding >games people play<, >the turn of a friendly card< remains one of this groups most enjoyable albums. parsons idea, the subject of the albums six tracks, centers around the age-old temptation of gambling and its stranglehold on the human psyche.

nice price deal !!! after three releases of darkened house, proto rave and weird techno, hollands boutique purple maze label takes a detour into funky disco territory with prime numbers and firecracker craftsman fudge fingas at the helm. his amaranthine labyrinth ep is lively, bright and sugary, but still features plenty of complex analogue machinery to get you dancing.eyes on the prize opens proceedings with some distant bongos, glassy percussion and punchy kick drums. its a jostling track with insistent claps running right through it that really comes alive when some sweeping chords bring irresistible colour and funk.

g. love & special sauces self-titled album is their debut and has reached gold status. on this record you can find their signatures tune >cold beverage<, featuring lighthearted jive lyrics and funky musical accompaniment, the video to this song got heavy rotation on mtv and it put them on the map. >this aint living< is a precursor to the comforting philly soul style that would be explored more thoroughly on their next album. >town to town< adds variety to the album with its slow-as-molasses blues style. g. love & special sauces debut serves as the musical foundation on which the group would build its future sound.

mit >our disco is louder than yours< veröffentlicht das hamburger duo moonbootica sein drittes artist-album. und diesmal haben es kowesix und tobi tobsen wirklich spannend gemacht. ein in jeder beziehung sündhafter teaser sorgte bereits im vorfeld der veröffentlichung für ungläubiges staunen und grosse erwartungen. zu sehen sind unglaubliche bilder vom rande der gesellschaft: voll-tätowierte danger-seeker verlustieren sich mit ein paar gefährlichen liebschaften in einem setting, das sowohl raketentreibstoff als auch nutten-diesel verströmt, vermischt mit einem leichten odor von verbrannter plastiktüte. giftig aber unwiderstehlich.

bob dylans >love & theft< was a true return to form, his 30th studio album, with the unfortunate release date of september 11, 2001.
his voice is shot, but he sounds warmer, more relaxed, and old mr. grumpy is as good humoured as on >the basement tapes< (movlp 429). bob is in a wistful, elegiac, playful mood. he has recovered the humanity he lost on >time out of mind<, and is looking on life with loving eyes. he has thrown off the weight of life and is remembering a better self. and that makes this one of his more accessible albums, despite a lack of high-flying hit songs.
with beautiful printed inner sleeves and 180 grams audiophile vinyl, this is the first vinyl re-issue since 2001!

what we have here is an album which is, if i may say, relatively positive and generally good for home listening. this album was recorded in about 10 weeks in a living room (the sofa being my bed), with restless swollen eyes at dusk and a love/hate relation with my machines, microphone and electric guitar.3 machines gave up on me during the making of this lp.i hope you will like it. tolga.

the third and last format:b vinyl-package is adjusted! subject matter still is the current album restless which has been taken on by big name artists of the international surroundings of the two. in pole position a1 this time is the italian uto karem. he took a shot at piano man and hits the keys just like we are used to from format:b. with his version of socks & sandals the dutch dj madskillz comes around the corner. its his second pounding release on formatik records after his carnival chaos ep. a debut however is given by the also italian artist fernando tessis who keep his eyes upon warped and who went into the remix battle with trumpets and timpani giving no less attention to his demonstration of his garland of corn on b2.

with >dazed<, senking continues his exploration of the abysses of sound to create dark and gloomy atmospheres. the slow beats of the two tracks are accompanied by tender, harmonic melodies, but broken by nervous, unsteady tones which seem to be a warning against hidden dangers. the first track >the dance hall walk< also features a vocal sample by micheal cramm - a text which reflects the nervousness and excitement in anticipation of some thrilling things to come. like >tweek<, senkings last ep, >dazed< is not only concerned with the depths of sound, but also with the depths of the human psyche, where there is no escape other than music itself.

fly away is their debut release for leng and, at 16 minutes, is as long as it is mesmerising with it s lazy afro quality. full of analog instruments, guitar, bass, synths and percussive sounds create a dirty but unique window into the unusual minds of the mushrooms and has set the standard for their future releases.

this is the tenth volume in the impressive love, peace & poetry compilation series.

part 3/3! close your eyes and let go. born in hannover daso enchanted us with this track. it is constantly building up until sunrise. this is how we got to know daso when he was playing his first gig at a treibgut getting our guests up and going. in hannover this night is known as the topless-party-animals-night. not many are as familiar with the treibgut sound as mario aureo proving with this tune. a year ago it was all hands up at treibgut but know we set it free to be passionately celebrated at other parties. leave the orchestra in rehearsals – until they have finished we keep on celebrating to the deep bassline for the plane has just landed. moritz approached this tune verytooly. we just remember him setting up stage for the party, ordering pizza and watching football. frieder, our youngest member, never looses the concept of time and spaces but this track has so much atmosphere in it that you can imagine which cloud he is on. the track comes in easy-going leaving you floating to the end
